They made an offer and publicly withdrew it before free agency commenced. The whole thing was done to appease pittsburgh fans and make him look bad. They had no intention of signing him but Pittsburgh would have torn them apart if it wasn't "his fault".

Thanks for speaking the truth

There's not a shred of evidence to support that "truth". Shero made a contract offer to Jagr. That is a fact. Was it a lowball offer? Perhaps, but why would he make any offer at all if he, as Idoit40fans asserts, "had no intention of signing him"? And the offer was not withdrawn until after free agency had commenced, when Shero realized that he was not going to get a quick reply from Jagr. Shero did not want to get burned a la Hossa while waiting on an answer from Jagr.

I love the Calgary fans' salute of Jagr. In wearing so many different uniforms, it shows what a mercenary Jagr has been throughout his career. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
